I require some help. My friend sent me an HTML document and he asked me to change the background. Now I'm new to HTML and all this but changing the background should be easy but I can't find it anywhere in the HTML doc or the CSS. Any help?
Just create a new css for example for body like this if you want it to be black:
body {
background: #000000;
}
That should work.
div{
background-image: url("https://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~ece533/images/tulips.png");
height:100px;
}
<div></div>
You can change the background by using background-color or background-image as follows:
<div style="background-color: red" >
This div has a background-color of red
</div>
The HTML file contains 2 main sections - <head>, <body>.
Head specifies attributes like page title, language, links to stylesheets (css / designs).
'Background' can be applied to any part within the <body> section of the HTML file (including body).
Background can be applied in 2 ways -
A colour - Using style="background-color: color-code;"
An image - Using style="background-image: url('img_girl.jpg')"
Here is an example of background being applied:
Approach 1: Background colour:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #e6f2ff;">
<div class="my-page">
<h1>-- Heading here --</h2>
<p>-- Description here -- </p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Approach 2: Background image:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body style="background-image: url("/paper.gif");">
<div class="my-page">
<h1>-- Heading here --</h2>
<p>-- Description here -- </p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note:
The background color / image can be applied to any element inside body, I.E., to div / h1 / p ...
More information:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-image.asp
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images_background.asp
Add a style for header in your CSS file :
.header {
background: "#000000"
}
The background image can be inserted in the page using the below within body tag or by using CSS: < div style="background-image:url('[image url]');>

Assigning multiple styles on an HTML element
(4 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Hey guys so basically I've been learning html and Css these past couple of days. I'm having trouble assigning a background color and font color at the same time.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "UTF-8" >
<title>Practice blog</title>
</head>
<body style="color: blue;">
<body style="background-color:lightblue;">
So basically if I put the background color one on top the font of the text won't change, only the background. If I put the one where it changes the font the background won't change. What can I do about that?
Congratulations on starting your journey with learning HTML and CSS!
Two things to keep in mind:
Each HTML file can have only 1 body tag. A good way to think of it is that one HTML file corresponds to one page and each page has one body!
Inline CSS isn't the prettiest way to learn and I think frowned upon. Making a separate CSS file and linking it to your HTML file will make learning a lot easier for you! Helped me a ton!
You need only one body:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Practice blog</title>
</head>
<body style="color: blue; background-color:lightblue;">
Some text to show colors
</body>
Apart from what others suggested, you could also use internal CSS to style the elements in the body without needing to use two body elements. What you need to do is embed the CSS code in the style tag of the head:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: blue;
color: yellow; /*or any colour of your own choice*/
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p> Paragraph whose colour will become yellow </p>
</body>
</html>
The code inside the style tags is called internal CSS which is an alternative way of styling the body elements. This is the easiest and simplest way of styling the body elements. Here's a demonstration:
body {
background-color: blue;
color: yellow;
}
<p> This is a simple paragraph </p>
The background-color will change the background colour of the body and the color will change the colour of the elements inside body i.e. paragraphs, headings etc.
I'm working on making a dark mode for the Kaplan website tests so I don't blind myself studying.
The following HTML code is representative of the structure of the source, and the tag with id="stylish-23" is what's added by a chrome extension to change the page's CSS styling:
<html> // html 1
<html> // html 2
<html> // html 3
<html> // html 4
<div id="divQuestions"> </div> //actual tag I want to change
</html> // html 4
</html> // html 3
</html> // html 2
<style id="stylish-23" type="text/css">...</style>
</html> // html 1
I put div#divQuestions in the style tag's CSS and it does not appear to have any effect at all. Due to the nature and limitation of the extension, I'm only able to add CSS to the style tag, and the CSS appears to not be able to select HTML tags (or at least when I do, nothing happens). I've noticed that dragging the style tag into html #4 in developer console will properly apply the CSS.
The element in question's CSS from inspect:
My CSS in the style tag:
div#divQuestions {
background: black;
}
Thanks for the help!
#divQuestions selector works for me if I fix the div's closing tag (or even if I don't, as it turns out):
<html>
<html>
<html>
<html>
<div id="divQuestions"> </div>
</html>
</html>
</html>
<style id="stylish-23" type="text/css">
#divQuestions {
padding: 48px;
background: aliceblue;
border: 4px solid blue;
}
</style>
</html>
nth-of-type is a selector that matches the nth element of their "type".
So, you can do this:
html:nth-of-type(1)
html:nth-of-type(2)
html:nth-of-type(3)
...
Or, you can do this since you said "multiple nested tags":
html
html > html
html > html > html
...
Im trying to design this webpage with multiple pages. For example, when you scroll to the about page, its a different background color than the contact page. However, so far I only got the title of each page color. My webpage is where you scroll down it lands onto another page. I tried
#name{background-color:#ffffff;}
#Portfolio{background-color:#d5f4e6;}
#about{background-color:#fefbd8;}
#ContactMe{background-color:#ffffff;}
in the css style page based on its id. Any clue on how to get the different background color on different pages
html code:
<body id="Portfolio"></body>
<body id="about"></body>
<body id="Contact Me"></body>
When you say "multiple pages" it means "separate pages in separate files!" like "aboutpage.html" or "contact.html". In this case you can work with "body" tag:
<body id="about">
but then you said "when you scroll to the about page" that means "a page with different section that you can use like this:
<p id="about"></p>
<p id="contact"></p>
or
<div id="about"></div >
<div id="contact"></div>
You should specify that the elements containing your targets are 100vh height. With your (original posted) code you can do it like that:
body > div {min-height:100vh;}
This css will catch the container-* div that you use in the code you provide. I recomand continue learning the basics. Start here https://developer.mozilla.org/he/docs/Web/HTML
Enjoy code!
If it's a same page scroller, you should add
#Portfolio,#about,#ContactMe {min-height:100vh;}
To your css.
If you can provide the exact code its much easier to help you.
simple code
$(document).ready(function(){
startFromtop=$(".start").position().top
aboutFromtop=$(".about").position().top
contactFromtop=$(".contact").position().top
endFromtop=$(".end").position().top-100
$(window).scroll(function(){
windowformtop=$(this).scrollTop();
if(windowformtop>=startFromtop && windowformtop<aboutFromtop){
$(document.body).css("background-color","white")
}
else if(windowformtop>=aboutFromtop && windowformtop<contactFromtop){
$(document.body).css("background-color","red")
}else if(windowformtop>=contactFromtop && windowformtop<endFromtop){
$(document.body).css("background-color","green")
}else if(windowformtop>=endFromtop){
$(document.body).css("background-color","blue")
}
})
})
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
div{height:700px;border:2px solid red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="start">Start</div>
<div class="about">ABOUT</div>
<div class="contact">CONTACT</div>
<div class="end">END PAGE</div>
</body>
</html>
Replace <body> with the <div> tag and add the appropriate css. The pages should have the same class but unique ids. You change the background color with CSS property background-color.
HTML:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div class=“page”id=“portfolio”>
</div>
<div class=“page” id=“about”>
</div>
<div class=“page” id=“contactme”>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
.page{
position:relative;
width:100%;
height: auto;
margin:auto;
}
#portfolio{
background-color:white;
}
#about{
background-color:red;
}
#contactme{
background-color:blue;
}
Hope this works for you.
These other elements should appear on the inserted image.
The backdround color is set then i want a white box in center and all contents on the white box.
like this page.
I am just practicing not creating any page for phishing.
You can find some info at W3Cschool.
However, with CSS you are able to change almost all of an element html property.
For example, if you have a header element as:
<h1>Header with Background</h1>
you can set a background image with css:
<style>
h1 {
background-image: url("paper.gif");
}
</style>
I leave an example in which the image of the background of different HTML tags is applied
.bg {
background-image: url("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Color_icon_red.svg/1024px-Color_icon_red.svg.png");
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="bg">Hello World!</h1>
<p>This page has an image as the background!</p>
<p class="bg">CIAO!</p>
<span class="bg">HELLO!</span>
<button class="bg">HOLA!</button>
</body>
</html>
I am new to programming and have a basic question. I have a background image on my web page, but I want the content area to have a white background. I see this very commonly on the web but being new I cannot seem to figure out how to do it. I have a #wrapper div that centers my content and a css rule to show the image, just can't get the content area background to be white. Help for this newbie is appreciated!
There are several ways to achieve this. You can either set the styles of your HTML tags (div, span, p etc...) by using the style attribute as in the example:
<div style="background-color: white;"></div>
or either define your styles inside the <head></head> tag as follows:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.your_class { background-color: #ffffff; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="your_class"></div>
</body>
</html>
or either use the link tag to put your CSS code inside a file and link to it as:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="your_file.css">
</head>
Or sometimes you will need to set your style dynamically. Then javascript enters into the picture:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function changeBg(id, color) {
document.getElementById(id).style.bgColor = color;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="changeBg('myDiv', 'white');">
<div id="myDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>
You should read more on HTML and CSS to understand how it works. There are plenty of tutorials on the web.
Assuming a structure like this :
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<section id="content"> <!-- Or div or whatever -->
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</section>
</div>
</body>
You should apply a background-color to #wrapper :
body{
background-image: url("your_url");
}
#wrapper{
background-color:white;
}
Check this fiddle for a working example.
Put your content inside a div and specify background:#fff; for that div in your CSS.
